I guess Eliot Spitzer has 10 foot pole marks all over him. No one wants near this guy unless they've got a camera and a microphone.

Sex outside the marriage is something that we are not crazy about in this country and when you find a woman on the internet --make that WOMEN on the internet--whose trade is the sex biz , you are likely gonna have a rough day if you get caught.

Oh, and when you are the Governor of New York, you can make that bad day, a bad few years.

Should we change the way we view these public officials who have affairs, relationships with prostitutes and other transgressions in their life?? I don't know, it just seems to be America's favorite media pastime every few months. Many say how great a governor Spitzer was but all note he was tough and kind of lacked any friends because of his personality and aggressive style. Now the dude is apologizing and is forced in shame into the shadows.

His real sin is that of hypocrisy isn't it?? He's the crusader who's gonna bring down every BLEEP house, crack house and illegal gambling house in New York State. He was doing well at it. But the truth hurts and his personal transgressions were substantial and apparently chronic.

The Spitz is a Democrat but that's my problem also with the holy roller Republican Larry Craig as well. Not so much that Larry Craig was trying to get a date in the men's room (that's pathetic and disgusting but if it's what he does on his lunch hour and he's not missing a meeting, should I care??) but his judgment and unrelenting criticism on the public stage and in the media of others with "less than traditional" personal sexual practices.

In Europe they look at our puritanical tendencies in this country and the way we drum politicos out of public life for private sexual habits and laugh. Are they right? I ask you??

AND WHAT ABOUT DAWN WELLS???

She's 69 years old, used to play Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island and now the poor woman's picture is back on TV everywhere because she got stopped with 4 marijuana cigarettes in the car. You HAVE to be kidding.

Unlike the previous examples, she is not a person who is preaching the straight and narrow to us so there is no hypocrisy here. She's just a senior citizen on the way back from her own birthday party and she got nabbed.

My problem here is the driving part. Get someone else to drive you Dawn. After that, you are 69 years old honey...if pot is what you are into, God bless. You can get baked every day from now until the end.

Wait, In Dawn's case, a little publicity might not be a bad thing, especially with a community at large that probably doesn't care that much about pot. She hasn't been on TV in a long time. Come to think of it, this might actually lead to a casting!! I see a guest role in her future, or at least a visit to the Larry King Show.

Hmmmm...call me when I turn 69 ...I'll let you know what I'm thinkin'
